Chapter 420 It doesn't matter? The slap in the face comes too fast
"What's wrong, Runiang?" asked the old lady.
"Old Madam..." How could it be my aunt? Didn't Shen Wenting take her back to be his wife?
"Runiang, you have to put the overall situation first in everything. I know you have suffered outside these years, but you don't understand the situation in the mansion. It looks prosperous on the surface, but it is actually very difficult. So Wen Ting's wife must be helpful to his future. Do you understand?" The old lady's words meant very clearly that Runiang was a country girl with no status or position, and no support from her natal family. She would not help Shen Wen Ting's future, so he would marry another wife who was worthy of him.
"Ru'er understands." Although Runiang was angry, she didn't dare to show it. She had no better place to stay except staying in the Shen Mansion. At least it was clean here, and she never wanted to go back to that broken yard again.
"Go ahead!" The old lady waved her hand and let her go down.
"Yes, old lady, Ru'er will go downstairs first and come to see you later." Runiang stepped back and, led by the maid, went to the courtyard arranged for her.
She came to the courtyard prepared for her by the Shen family. After everyone left, she took off her disguise: "Why did Shen Wenting do that? I have been with him for so many years, and in the end he just wanted a concubine position and sent me away! Ah! I am unwilling to accept this."
"Madam, don't be anxious. Have you forgotten that we still have the young master? Although you are just a concubine now, we have entered the Shen Mansion after all. There is a long time to come. You can plan slowly in the future. As long as the wife the master marries has no children, then the entire Shen Mansion will belong to the young master." Chan'er whispered to comfort her beside her.
"Chan'er, what you said makes sense. I can't be impatient. I have to take it one step at a time." When Runiang heard this, she immediately perked up. After packing up her things, she went to the dining hall under the guidance of her maid.
Yao Qingnian was also called over.
"Nianran, this is the new concubine Ru, you have met her. And this is your brother, Shen Haobo." The old lady introduced happily.
"Ru...Aunt? Didn't you say at the beginning that you had nothing to do with my father? What happened? You suddenly became the Shen family's aunt. Isn't it too quick to get slapped in the face?" Yao Qingnian chuckled.
"..." Runiang was speechless for a moment.
Shen Wenting slammed his chopsticks on the table. "It's not your turn to ask about my affairs. I have already divorced your mother. I can take whoever I want as my aunt. If you know what's good for you, just sit down and have a meal with us. If you don't want to eat, get out!"
"Father, aren't you afraid that your good friend will crawl out of his coffin to look for you? They say that a friend's wife should not be bullied, but you just brought her home."
"You wicked girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Wenting yelled at her. He didn't have any good friends at all. This was just a fake story he made up to prevent them from finding out and getting suspicious.
Yao Qingnian ignored him and continued calmly, "Also, what kind of brother is this? I only have one brother, Shen Jinghong. Where did this bastard come from?"
"Who do you call a bastard! Haobo is my son, the bloodline of the Shen family!" Shen Wenting was furious when he saw her like this.
"Oh, so that's the case. Hey, I seem to have seen you somewhere!" Yao Qingnian held up his chin and glanced at Shen Haobo who was sitting next to Runiang.
"Sister, you've got the wrong person. How could you have seen me before?" Why was it this girl? Last time, she and that aunt saved him and gave him silver. Later, for some reason, that aunt did not save him again and even had him beaten up. He could not figure out why, but when he saw her today, he finally understood. It turned out that person was Shen Wenting's wife.
It seems that the aunt must have known his identity, so she asked someone to teach him a lesson. Ha, just wait for this young master. Her daughter will not have an easy life in the Shen Mansion in the future. Shen Haobo has already planned in his mind how to teach Yao Qingnian a lesson. He was beaten by those people in the gambling house last time, and now his whole body is still in pain!
"You've got the wrong guy, haven't you? Father, I've seen him outside the gambling house several times. He was always thrown out because he owed the gambling house a lot of money and couldn't pay it back, so he was beaten. It was so miserable. They even said they would send him to the entrance of the academy so that everyone can see him. So this is your son."
"Father, I didn't do that. It's not what she said. She must have recognized the wrong person." Shen Haobo tried his best to defend himself. He couldn't admit it. If he admitted it, he would be beaten to death.
"Humph! How could Haobo, such a well-behaved and sensible child, go to a gambling house? Stop accusing him!"
"That's right, master. You must believe Haobo. How could he do such a thing? I know the eldest lady doesn't like us, but you can't slander our son like that." Runiang also didn't believe that her son would go to gamble. What kind of place is that? He was studying well in the academy and at most he was drinking with a few classmates.
"Big girl, don't go too far! Today is a good day for Aunt Ru and the others to come back. Let's get together as a family and have a happy meal." The old lady also echoed.
Yao Qingnian remained unmoved and said, "In that case, I won't disturb your family from having a good meal. I won't eat. I feel a little nauseous and my stomach is uncomfortable. Tsk tsk."
Yao Qingnian left after saying this, fearing that she would lose her appetite if she ate with them.
The old lady looked at her leaving back, and her head started to hurt again. But remembering that this was the first day her grandson came back, she cheered up and continued, "Don't worry about her. If she doesn't eat, we will. Come on, Haobo, grandma doesn't know what you like to eat, so let the kitchen make some for you to try."
"Thank you, grandma." They sat together and had a lively meal.
After dinner, Runiang chatted with the old lady for a while, then returned to the yard with Shen Wenting.
Shen Haobo was bored, so he wandered around the mansion. As he walked, looking around, he didn't pay attention to what was in front of him and suddenly bumped into a maid. It was Linglong who came back to the mansion to find Yao Qingnian.
"Who is so blind that he doesn't look when he walks?"
"It was clearly you who bumped into me, but you are the bad guy who is complaining first." Linglong has been with Yao Qingnian for a long time, and her personality is no longer as timid as before. She looked at the strange man in front of her, whom she had never seen in the mansion.
"Oh, you are such a sharp-tongued girl. Do you know who I am? How dare you be so unreasonable." Shen Haobo touched his chin and looked at Linglong in front of him. He thought, this girl is pretty, but she is a little too sharp-tongued. She is just a servant in the mansion. If he goes and begs the old lady to transfer her to his own courtyard, he will see how he tortures her.
